Basic Crepes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for cooking

Instructions:

1. Make the Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine.
   • Add the salt and melted butter; beat until smooth.
2. Heat a Skillet:
   • Heat a lightly buttered frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe.
   • Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
3. Cook the Crepes:
   • Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.
   • Stack finished crepes on a plate, using wax paper to separate them if they’re sticky.
4. Serve:
   • Serve hot with your choice of fillings and toppings such as lemon juice and sugar, syrup, Nutella, berries, or whipped cream for sweet options.
   • For savory crepes, consider fillings like ham, cheese, spinach, or mushrooms.
